As we approach Great Lent, the time given to us specifically for repentance, the Church gives us a whole host of images to help us.
Our Lord Jesus Christ grafts us into His body, inviting us to become saints, “just as He is holy.” (1 Peter 1.16) Our Creator wants us to be in communion with Him in order to taste His grace, which is to participate in His sanctity.
